In the field of ADC (analog-to-digital conversion), two main techniques are used: the successive-approximation technique, and the dual-slope integration. In the successive-approximation technique, an analog input value is compared to the analog value of a counter and progressively, a finer approximation is generated. 2, record 2, English, - successive%2Dapproximation%20conversion%20technique
